I am using a DSI Pro mono and saving "All Uncombined Images". Should I be saving "All RAW images" instead? -------------------- Adam 12" LX200R AT80mm piggyback DSI Pro, DSI-C, LPI Denver Astronomical Society Brighton Astronomical Group Post Extras:       nofxrx Pooh-Bah Reged: 07/12/05 Posts: 1418 Loc: palm bay,florida Re: How should I save images in Envisage?

[Re: nofxrx]       #2565124 - 08/06/08 10:28 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Saving all uncombined images is fine, but use the FITS format. The FITS file is 16 bit, make sure PixInsight doesn't convert them to 8 bit. Also, I've found Autostar Imaging Processing to be very helpful in doing the pre-work on my DSI Pro images. -------------------- -John ================================================ Homebuilt scopes from 4.25-16.5" Meade LXD75-N6/SN6/SC8, DSX-90, ETX-60BB, ETX-125PE, DS-2130 Orion StarBlast, BinoViewers, Coronado PST Rebel XT/XTi, DSI Pro (I & II), DSI, LPI, Electronic Eyepiece, Phillips SPC900NC Tasco 60mm Refractors Post Extras:       snowdragonusa professor emeritus Reged: 09/04/07 Posts: 637 Loc: Denver, CO Re: How should I save images in Envisage?
